New pink boots and sore muscles

I bet you thought that Cailin got new boots. Not this time. I got new pink boots. If you don't have a pair, I highly suggest you get one, if you do any kind of work outside. They are so comfortable. Go here to Muck Boots and check them out. They also have some cool purple ones.

The sore muscles come from wearing my new boots yesterday and helping my B-I-Law in the chicken houses. I picked up three houses of chickens myself and them helped him with the other three. I haven't done that much manual labor in a while. I'll be better in a few days. I still need to clean up my pink boots. It's been to cold to get back outside and wash them off real good,

Randomness at 3am

Cailin cried out at 1:30. I got up to check on her and now I can't go back to sleep. I had started a prayer when I went to bed at 10:30 and I fell asleep in the middle. So I finished my prayer and here I am. Things I was praying about:

• Our troops that are protecting us while we sleep in our nice warm bed or sit at our computers at 3 am
• A job. I am sending in my resume to two different companies and I pray that I can get one of them. Both of them sound like I would really enjoy them.
• I was praying and continue to pray for a fellow blogger. She had a baby yesterday evening and the baby has pneumonia in her lungs. Please pray for Harper and her family.
• Praying for friends, new ones to come into my life. It has been difficult being in a new place. It has been hard to find new friends since I am staying home. I miss the days at the big blue house when our home was full of folks over for that latest BBQ that was going on. I seem to have taken those days for granted and now not having them is hard. I continue to miss everyone back in Arkansas and some days wish we were back. We have only been in KY for 4.5 months and being home with Cailin is something I never thought possible. It has been wonderful. I guess I have a bad case of the winter blues. It has been so cold here that we have not been able to get outside and it is all catching up with me. I enjoy the fact that we are so close to Matthew's brother, SIL, and their son. Our nephew and Cailin are only 3 months apart and they have become so close. It is really great to see them playing and growing up together.
• For my family. Since the loss of my Pa, I continue to pray for strength for my Nanny. They were married for 63 years and she misses him so. Pa was such a wonderful man to all who knew him. If he liked you, you knew it. If he didn't, well you knew that too.
• And to end all the randomness and by no means was this a prayer but I was thinking about how badly I need a hair cut!!!

Good morning to you all. I'm going to try and catch a couple hours before Cailin is ready to start her day. Love to all.

Hello 2009!!

2009 started with us in bed, as usual. I have had a cold all week and not felt like much at all. Matthew went duck hunting New Years morning. They had a good shoot. I was glad to hear because he has not filled his buck tag and the ducks had been hanging out on the refuge. The Mississippi River is full and causing lots of back water and ducks like back water. We went driving yesterday evening and I snapped this picuture of the Mississippi River at Sunset.

Here are the pictures of the Birthday boy and his cake from Sunday. All of his family came over for cake and ice cream.

Cailin helped her Dad blow out the candles.

I wish each of you a blessed new year. I'm hoping that ours is much more settled than 2008. All that moving wore me out.
